GDC's TMS-3000 Advanced Multi-aggregate Transport Management Platform offers superior bandwidth management for high speed wide area networks. The Multi-nodal, Multi-aggregate architecture of the TMS-3000 enables service providers and enterprise users to build fully mesh, fault tolerant resilient backbone networks. Cost effective access to smaller branch or regional offices is supported through OCM-2000 and MiniMux feeder platforms. TMS-3000 is ideally suited to accommodate and efficiently transport a changing mix of applications, LAN to WAN integration, image and video along with traditional voice and data services.

TMS-3000 allows users to accomplish virtually any networking objective efficiently and economically. Complete flexibility provides for ease of upgrade to accommodate future requirements.

TMS-3000 Highlights

• Global digital connectivity - narrowband, wideband, fractional and hybrid access
• Branch office traffic consolidation - Voice, video, and data traffic over economical T1/E1, Fractional T1/E1, or narrow band facilities
• Flexible network topology and system configurations- point-to-point, delta, mesh or star
• Extensive voice compression options - CELP, ADPCM, digital PBX T1/E1 voice channels
• Software downloading for non-disruptive updates
• Simplified circuit management including automatic route optimization, intelligent automatic reroute feature, and off-line network modeling

OCM-1000/2000-Office Communications Manager

The OCM-1000 and OCM-2000 are powerful, cost-effective TDM networking platforms. The OCM-1000 provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity to small and medium sized branch sites. The OCM-2000 extends the TMS-3000 backbone network's capabilities to remote branch office locations. Both OCM platforms offer connectivity to a variety of digital carrier services, allowing users to select the one with the best performance/cost ratio in each location. They use the same bandwidth optimization techniques as the TMS-3000 to efficiently transport voice and data traffic.

OCM Highlights

• Support for a variety of digital services ensures easy implementation of global networks
• Integration of both traditional voice and data and LAN to WAN internetworking, video conferencing and imaging over common digital facilities
• Multi-aggregate capability for resilient mesh networks with diverse routing options
• Configuration and management from a single central-site platform
• Exceptionally high quality voice compression options
• Easy migration path from OCM-1000 to OCM-2000

MiniMux Time Division Multiplexer

GDC's MiniMux is a software controller, single aggregate, time division multiplexer (TDM) that is ideal for point-to-point links in voice, data, video and local area networks. It is fully compatible with General DataComm's TMS 3000 platform, making it the perfect choice as a feeder mux in larger networks. MiniMux supports an entire spectrum of aggregate interfaces at rates from 4800 bps to 2.048 Mbps, for maximun applications flexibility. It is also compatible with DS0-channelized public network service offerings (Fractional T1/E1), providing users with vitually unlimited connectvity.

MiniMux Highlights

• Self-contained TDM system capable of multiplexing up to six channels of synchronous, isochronous, or asynchronous data, or voice-grade telephone signals. Expands to support 14 channels.
• Universal voice and data channels for maximum configuration flexibility.
• Cpmpatible with the entire TMS family of systems for a fully integrated networking solution.
• Can be deployed in standalone or rackmount packaging.

Network Management

The P.C. based GDC TMS Software (GTS) application provides network configuration, control and management to TMS-3000, OCM-2000 and MiniMux nodes. In point-to-point and point-to-multipoint OCM-1000 networks, the P.C. based OCM Management System (OMS)can be utilized. Both systems provide configuration, alarm reporting, diagnostics and centralized system management. Simple , pop-up windows and mouse or keyboard commands make GTS and OMS user-friendly, while providing comprehensive functionality.

New GTS 5.x Platform

GDC's new release, GTS 5.x is a Pentium 4 based platform that is backward compatible and supports all the option cards and modules associated with previous TMS software version GTS 2.2. In addition, GTS 5.x supports LAN connectivity for Telnet and LAN-based logins and provides SNMP alarm traps.

Enterprises with geographically distributed operations depend on wide area networks (WANs) to control mission critical operations. A staple of remote office WAN infrastructure, integrated access channel banks such as the Xedge1000 from General DataComm, do more for less. Some think that all channel banks perform the same. Think again.

The modular Xedge1000 from General DataComm provides a hybrid network solution that addresses critical cost saving issues such as:

• 1RU footprint with support for E&M, FSX, FXO voice


• Ethernet ports with full featured router capability


• Low speed data ports for SCADA and telemetry transport


• A VoIP migration capability


• Highly modular with exceptional reliability


• Easy to use network management


• Expert technical support
